About Fitchburg Comprehensive Treatment Center

Located just an hour outside of Boston in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, Fitchburg Comprehensive Treatment Center provides outpatient treatment for individuals struggling with opioid use disorder. These services are offered to adults aged 18 and older. The primary treatment provided at this facility is medication assisted treatment (MAT).

I like that, in contrast to some locations, they provide more than one medication to take as a part of your treatment. You have the option of being administered methadone or Suboxone to help reduce your cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Methadone, in particular, reduces your symptoms without producing the euphoric effects that are common with opioid use.

As you take these medications, you’ll participate in both individual and group therapies. Your therapist will work with you to get to the root cause of your addiction. They’ll help you examine and resolve any trauma or negative emotions that have potentially caused your opioid use. You’ll also learn coping skills and other tools that can help you maintain your sobriety.

In group therapy, your peers will provide you with support as you go through recovery, and you’ll have the chance to share your experiences. The counselor leading the discussions will likely cover topics such as stress management, anger management, and other issues related to addiction.

One aspect I find helpful with this facility is they provide multiple options for payment. You can pay through commercial insurance, Veteran Affairs, Medicaid and Medicare. You also have the option of public funding if you qualify for it or self pay.

Fitchburg is close to a lot of nature areas you can spend time enjoying. The center is sandwiched between the Nashua River and South Fitchburg Playground. Two popular options you can enjoy include the Crocker Conservation Area and the Cowdrey Nature Center.

Levels of Care

Detox & MAT

The first step to a drug-free future is detox. This involves slowly and safely ridding your body of all addict...ive substances, under 24/7 supervision. This is typically the initial phase of drug rehab in Massachusetts.

Outpatient Rehab

Massachusetts outpatient rehab does not have a defined timeline. The program is tailored to meet your recovery... needs, and may last 90 days or a year or more. During this time, you will attend therapy sessions and support group meetings, for ongoing accountability and development of sober-living skills.

Aftercare & Alumni Program

Aftercare rehab in Massachusetts gives you continued access to support after rehab. You may need assistance wi...th job coaching, budgeting, education, or accountability as you re-enter your life. Aftercare programs provide these supports, so you can face challenges and maintain a sober lifestyle long-term.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

If you meet the diagnostic criteria for two or more conditions, you have a dual diagnosis. Massachusetts dual ...diagnosis treatment is designed to address both conditions simultaneously, for improved recovery outcomes.
